 3. GNOME-PYTHON-EXTRAS
 
 What is happening in unstable:
   * egg.trayicon, gtkhtml2 and gtkmozembed each have their own
 binary package (python-eggtrayicon, python-gtkhtml2,
 python-gtkmozembed)
   * gksu 1.X is going away (nothing uses it anyway)
   * gda is going away, at least for a while
   * gtkspell will have its own binary package (currently in NEW)
 
 What will change upstream:
   * It’s very hard to tell, these modules don’t seem to change much.
   * Most of them have better replacements, so other packages should
 really get of these dependencies anyway.
 
 What changes to apply to Debian packages:
   * To simplify the dependency tree, the dependencies of
 python-gnome2-extras on python-eggtrayicon, python-gtkhtml2 and
 python-gtkmozembed are going away, probably right after the
 squeeze release.
   * Therefore, packages using these modules *must* be updated to use
 the new binary package as dependency instead.

Apparently, developers have a strong tendency to not fix these bugs the
correct way and instead, to make packages depend on e.g.
python-gtkmozembed | python-gnome2-extras

Therefore, I’m probably going to make gnome-python-extras follow the
gnome-python-desktop path:
  * the gksu2 and gdl modules will go in python-gksu2 and python-gdl
  * when gda comes back (Gustavo is working on packaging libgda4),
it will be in python-gda
  * let’s take that opportunity to ditch egg.recent away

Are people OK with this approach?

Hi Joss,

Josselin Mouette wrote:
 1. GNOME-PYTHON

 I propose to file wishlist bugs on the packages that can move to using
 python-gconf.


 2. GNOME-PYTHON-DESKTOP

 I propose to file important bugs on all packages depending on
 python-gnome2-desktop, making them RC once the package is removed (not
 until at least a few months, though).


 3. GNOME-PYTHON-EXTRAS

 Bugs have already been filed for egg.trayicon, gtkhtml2 and gtkmozembed.
 I propose to complete them with gtkspell bugs and to make them
 important. They would become serious before the squeeze release.

All sound good to me.

Cheers,
Emilio

gtkvncviewer

I filed #518000 a while ago about this, heh. But the bug report needs
updating to say that python-gconf exists on its own, and that
gtkvncviewer should depend on that instead of python-gnome2.

Cheers,
